Your test will be quite similar to the one you had last week.

Student's recommendations

During the autumn the pupils in year 6 have been working with individual exercises in English, which will improve their skills. In their work they have come across various websites which they would like to recommend to others.

• Alfred and Hampus recommend Elevspel.se where you can practise words, phrases and grammar. Did you know that your teacher has created some games here? (Engelska - plural and Oregelbundna verb)
• Jakob H and Anders are really fond of Lyricstraining where you can practise vocabulary and spelling at the same time as you are listening to really good music.
• Hannes often practises his weekly words with the help of Glosor.eu which is also available in app store. Create your own account and type in the words. If you have the app you can pracise your words anywhere!
• Liam, Melker and Emma all like  Learn English Teens where you can practise all different skills and at different levels as well. They have tried the listening and reading comprehensions and think the execises are great.
• Mea is a fan of Childtopia where you can choose from a whole lot of different stories for kids, listen to them or read them, and finally answer some simple questions on the content. They are like flicking through real story books!
• Ludvig and Anton A have pracised their English with the help of Read Theory. You read short texts with information about everything from smoothies to sloths and then answer multiple choice questions. You can create your own account to keep track of your progression.
• Nellie thought Classic Fairytales was a great website. Here you can read the famous stories by the brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen.

Watch the film in preparation for making your own check-in dialogue. You only need to watch the first minute and a half (1.30), but it is to your advantage to watch the whole film.

Test your vocabulary

Just for fun, test your vocabulary! But remember, only check the box for the words you know at least one definition for. See if you can beat my score. I will reveal it to you in class.
